[William Clayton Journal] This morning is very rainy and cold. Spun 20 yards of fish line and tied on 11 hooks. [] Swap and [] Conrad returned soon after 11 o'clock. They say the camp is about 30 miles ahead. They confirm the report of Some having arrived from Nauvoo and say they were told that my father is on his way here. The roads are lined with teams &c on the other road north of this...I cannot yet learn a word from Diantha but think she must be on her way. My family are yet in good health except Margaret who looks sick but doesn't complain.
